Study summary

With the agarose concentrating group of Peiyuan Guben Tongluo Ointment set as the parallel control and an external control established simultaneously, this study aimed to evaluate the increases from baseline in DXA-measured limb muscle mass after 12 weeks of medication in elderly sarcopenia patients treated with the Ejiao concentrating group of Peiyuan Guben Tongluo Ointment.

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• DXA-measured appendicular skeletal muscle mass — Baseline, week 12, week 24
  Detected by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (GE Healthcare, DXA). The skeletal muscle mass index (SMI) is defined as the ratio of DXA-measured skeletal muscle mass to the square of height.
